Default 86 abs removal

so this weekend im going to remove my abs(for various reasons) and use a few unions to tie the lines together. does anybody have a diagram showing which lines are what though? i know theres two coming in from the master, and three leaving, one to the rear and two to the front. i just want a pic or something to know which is which and not have to guess by undoing them and pressing the pedal. also i may post some pics for anyone in the future trying to do this.

The lines on the 86 feed in different directions.right rear feeds the left front and so on. To do it right you will also have to replace one of the front left lines to do it right.If you have another person it makes it easier.I didn't find that the brakes worked any better.It did remove a few pounds from the car and when I go through the traps the car doesn't speed up after the brakes are applied for a long period of time.
They get 5 bucks per fitting so dont strip out those cheap brass fittings with the stainless lines on the car.

the reason for the removal is because my abs unit is shot and i have no brakes/locked up brakes. i would buy another unit on the forum, but honestly, the abs sucks. instead of the pedal making and releasing pressure like new cars, the 86 just modulates the release of pressure, and your pedal bleeds down. this is scary, and happens on occasions where i know for a fact i would have been better off without it. maybe i sound like an idiot to some of you, but its my preference and i know ill be happy with it.im from the thought that simpler is better.
